Our cocker spaniel Denny enjoying his own bed after spending two nights at the Emergency Veterinary Hospital. He had extreme breathing problems Wednesday night and we rushed him to the hospital. He has a diagnosis of congestive heart failure and probable aspiration pneumonia. He was much better after treatment and got to come home tonight.

From 365 Project

The torsion pendulum on our anniversary mantel clock spins away night and day. Anniversary Clocks got their name because they were designed to run for over a year without being wound. Sometimes they are referred to as 400 day clocks. The idea was that by giving one as a wedding present, it could be wound again on each and every anniversary of the day it was given. Canon G10, 0.8s at f/4.0, ISO 100, 88mm equivalent focal length in macro mode.

A green laser and my antique glass telephone insulator helped to create this image. I have had this insulator for over thirty-five years. It was originally on a telephone pole serving the long abandoned oceanfront community of Wash Woods, Virginia. Now a part of False Cape State Park all that remains of the town are some graves and the ruins of the church steeple. Canon 40d, 2.5 second exposure at F/2.5, ISO 100 with a 50mm lens.
